DEATH PENALTY IN coREA,
Peculiar Manner of Killing Criminals in
the Oriental Peninsula.

The manner of killing is peculiar and il
especially obnoxious to the Catholic Chris.
tians, who are abundant i'll this country. Ar
ordinary Roman cross is set up on huge
cart drawn by oxen. The man is tied to this
with arms extended and he is thus drawn
through the streets. A c'ier precedes the
procession, announcing the crime for which
the man is being punished. His friends are
allowed to follow and protest his innocence
and bewail his sad fate, but as the punish
ment is usually visited upon the family if the
treason has been glaring, the following of
friends is apt to be rather small
There are two places of execution at the
capital. One, seldom used, is in the city,
while the chief place is just outside the west
gate, OH hillside, where the immense crowds
upon the city wall and other high places can
get good view of the Interesting sight
Whether the prisoner, i'll his exhausted state,
has Succumbed to the torture on the cross or
not, OH arriving at the place of execution he
is placed face downward, with his neck upon
block, when, by one stroke, il it is IL good
one, the heavy sword sewers lh., head from
the body. The hands and feet are then cut
OFT, and the mutilated body is carried back
into the city and laid, chest downward, in
one of tho streets, where it must lie for three
days
1t is refreshing to note that the people, and
even the dogs, avoid that street for the time
being, and the adjoining shops are closed.
They count from the evening when the body
is laid out till daylight of the Third day, so
that the body only lies there one day in lie.
ality. The foreigners resident in the capital,
during the time following the enleule of 1Ssi,
when SO many political criminals We're exc

1t should be mentioned that the humane

so that it may be cut off. If, however, the
